Sinossi

"Lacrosse Legends" offers a captivating journey through the evolution of North America's oldest team sport, skillfully weaving together the stories of influential players who shaped its transformation from sacred Native American tradition to modern competitive sport.The book uniquely bridges three centuries of lacrosse history, with particular focus on the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) nations' foundational role in creating what they reverently called "the Creator's game." Through meticulous research combining tribal oral histories, sports archives, and historical records, the narrative unfolds across three distinct periods: the sacred origins among indigenous peoples, the crucial transitional period (1850-1950) when the sport became formally organized, and the modern era's explosive growth.Readers discover how early Native American players served as both athletes and cultural ambassadors, while Canadian innovators established the first official rulebook, forever changing how the game would be played. The book's comprehensive approach examines both men's and women's lacrosse, analyzing not just the technical evolution of play but also the broader social implications of the sport's development. By combining scholarly research with engaging biographical narratives, it offers valuable insights for everyone from casual sports enthusiasts to serious players and coaches, while preserving the rich cultural heritage that makes lacrosse unique among North American sports.

    From the trainer and high-performance expert behind LeBron James and other superstars, a blueprint to achieving peak physical and psychological well-being—and sustaining it for the long haul. With a foreword by LeBron. 
    “Mike Mancias is more than a teacher or trainer, his approach to health and wellness is an approach to life. If you stay ready, you ain’t gotta get ready.” —Usher 
    Mike Mancias has spent two decades developing and refining a winning blueprint for athletic excellence. He’s worked with countless professional athletes, sports franchises, and the US Olympic Program. And his methods have propelled the rise of LeBron James, arguably the best-trained athlete in the world, and the gold standard for elite longevity. In Game Plan, he shares those secrets with the rest of us. 
    Over the course of three parts—the first focused on nutrition (“Eat with performance first and foremost in your mind”), the second on physical training (“We find the best ways to keep the body in constant motion”), and the third on recovery (“Recovery doesn’t start after performance but during performance”)—Mancias guides readers on their own journey to tiptop performance. 
    Revelations include the precise time to eat before an athletic pursuit, the hidden pitfalls of stretching, the right temperature for sleeping, therapeutic breathing techniques to turn off stress, and why naps are not just for babies. Throughout, Mancias makes the case that excellence must begin with the mind before it can manifest in the body—and shows you how to cultivate it. 
    Game Plan offers an actionable, holistic, and comprehensive roadmap to peak performance. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    These days you can play a round on the ice floes in the Arctic, in the war zones of Afghanistan and Iraq and on the plains of Africa.
    		 
    The rich history of the sport has produced a wealth of screwball, outlandish and just plain weird tales:
    		Golf was invented in Scotland over 500 years ago, but the Chinese claim a similar game as far back as 943 AD.
    		In a three-day span on a course in Wales, a mother, father and son each made a hole-in-one; the odds of this feat are at least 10,000,000 to one.
    		The Toonik Tyme Festival in Nunavut features a nine-hole golf tournament on sea ice with fluorescent balls and parka-clad golfers at Temperatures of -50 degrees Celsius.
    		Four-time long-drive champion Jason Zuback once drove a golf ball over 700 yards on an airport runway.
    		Eight of the world’s oldest golf clubs owned by the Royal Troon Golf Club in Scotland are worth at least $5 million.

    Ice hockey is perhaps the most unique sport ever created. It is one of the few team sports played on ice, and the athletes that play the game have to train very differently compared to most other sports. Hockey players need to master not only going forwards but going backward as well. 
    No other sport has changed as much as ice hockey has. From the evolution of goalie techniques, the design of the skates, and the materials used to make the sticks, this game has certainly gone through many phases. In this book, Adam Rothstein goes through the history of the game, the rules, his hockey journey, and how you can become a ref, coach, or player. This audiobook was created to grow the sport of hockey.
